Beitr. Bd. 46 H. 1-4 S. 59-91 Bonn, Juni 1996 Systematics of the indigenous hares of Italy traditionally identified as Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778 (Mammalia: Leporidae) Fernando Palacios Abstract. Hares living on the Italian Peninsula and in Sicily have traditionally been iden- tified as a single species (Lepus europaeus Pallas, 1778) but a taxonomic study based on the size, morphology, and pelage of indigenous specimens of this area held in museum col- lections clearly reveals that they belong to two different species, L. europaeus and Lepus corsicanus de Winton, 1898. The geographic localities of the specimens indicate that they occupied parapatric areas in natural conditions, L. europaeus in the northern part of the Italian Peninsula and L. corsicanus in the southern part, being separated between Siena and Rome. The two species are very distinct phenetically and the species differentiation is possible using both univariate and multivariate statistics. There is a notable uniformity in the phenetic characteristics of each species within the natural areas of distribution and no evidence of hybridization has been found as the specimens do not have intermediate characters even in neighboring localities within their geographic areas. Among the discriminant features determining the distinctiveness of these two species the color of the basal fringe of the dorsal underfur of adult specimens which is always white in L. europaeus and grey in L. corsicanus is worthy of note. As for skull size, there are several measurements which do not overlap, L. corsicanus being smaller than L. europaeus. As regards dental characters, the difference in the shape of the posterior contour of the cross section of the first upper incisor, which is concave in L. europaeus and smooth or convex in L. corsicanus, is important. Statistical comparisons of frequencies of skull and dental character states showed high Chisquare values and very low probabilities suggesting that there is a significant difference between the two species. Two correspondence factor analyses based on the above frequencies served to separate well the specimens of the two species into different groups without plot overlapping. As regards phenetic relationships of L. corsicanus with other SW European hares, L. castroviejoi from the Cantabrian Mts showed the most extensive phenetic similarity in a discriminant analysis made with skull measurements, whereas L. europaeus was the most distant. The results suggest that L. cor- sicanus and L. castroviejoi could have had a common ancestor occupying a large distribu- tion area in SW Europe between Italy and Spain before the expansion of L. europaeus. Key words. Taxonomy, systematics, hares, Lepus, Leporidae, Lagomorpha, mammals, Europe. Introduction Unlike in other Mediterranean countries, hare systematics in Italy have never been a controversial topic. Two species were commonly accepted as representing the hares of the Italian peninsula, Lepus europaeus meridiei Hilzheimer, 1906, described from Aveyron (S France) and Lepus corsicanus de Winton, 1898, described from Corsica. Shortly after the description of the two taxa, Miller (1912) identified both hares as subspecies of L. europaeus. According to this author, the northern Italian hares cor- respond to L. europaeus meridiei and the southern Italian hares to L. europaeus cor- sicanus. © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at 60 F. Palacios Miller's view accepting these hares only as different subspecies seems unusual for a period in which this author and many other taxonomists were very generous in recognizing the validity of hare species, and the decision seems a little incongruent in comparison with other taxonomic interpretations, as in the case of Lepus par- nassius Miller, 1903 from Greece, in which the holotype has the typical skin and skull of L. europaeus. However, in Italy Miller (1912) separated peninsular hares only at the subspecies level despite the fact that he clearly identified L. europaeus corsicanus on the basis of peculiarities of pelage color, and even after detecting the discriminant underfur color of L. corsicanus in specimens from Sicily and southern Italy. Petter (1961) in a wide revision of European and Asiatic hares classified both Italian subspecies under Lepus capensis, without making any particular reference to the hares from Italy. In a descriptive work on Italian hares, Toschi (1965) followed Miller (1912) and Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1951) for taxonomy on peninsular and Sicilian populations. Following these papers nobody has paid further attention to the study of Italian hares and in the latest publications updating the main taxonomic problems still af- fecting Old World hares by Flux (1983), Angermann (1983), Corbet (1986), and Flux & Angermann (1990) there is no reference to them. However, in a recent review, Hoff- mann (1993) lists L. corsicanus as a valid species on the basis of a preliminary con- tribution on this same subject (Palacios et al. 1989). Material and methods I studied hare specimens from Italy held in the collections of the Istituto Nazionale di Biologia della Selvaggina "Alessandro Ghigi" (Bologne), Museo Civico di Storia Naturale (Milan), Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "Giacomo Doria"(Genova), Museo Zoológico de "La Specola" (Florence), Unidad de Zoología Aplicada (Madrid), Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (París), Natural History Museum (London), American Museum of Natural History (New York), and National Museum of Natural History (Washington). Data collected include label information, specimen identification, skull size and morphology, pattern of enamel in dentition, and pelage color and pattern. As the scope of the taxonomic problem to be clarified here is restricted to hares previously identified as brown hares (L. europaeus) from Italy and Corsica, I excluded Italian L. timidus and the hares from Sardinia that belong to L. mediterraneus. I also excluded brown hare specimens collected after the end of the 19th century to avoid the influence of hare restocking. As far as I know, this has been a common practice in Italy for hunting purposes since the early 1900s, according to label data for specimens from the MF collection, with an increase in this activity after 1930 (Toschi 1965). Sample limits set in this paper are of interest both to define the natural distribution area of the brown hare in Italy and to characterize the indigenous population. Identification of brown hare specimens has been done using previous experience on Spanish hares (Palacios 1989). As for the Corsican hare (L. corsicanus) all available specimens from the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Corsica, and Elba Island were included in the sample. It contains specimens from the 19th century and a few from this century. The identification of the specimens was based on the characteristics of the holotype which was captured in Corsica and acquired in the market of Bastia. As regards the origin of this island population, there is evidence to support the view that hares were introduced. Vigne (1988) indicates that Corsican hares were probably released on the island no later than in the 16th century. • Only relative age class IV adult specimens (Cabon-Raczynska 1964, Palacios 1989) were in- cluded in the comparison between samples. Some of the criteria used to identify the specimens with available skulls are: exooccipital-supraoccipital suture completely ossified and not detec- © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.zoologicalbulletin.de; www.biologiezentrum.at Indigenous hares of Italy 61 table by color or thickness; mandibular capitulum well-ossified lacking porosity or fissures under the condyles; temporal tubercles and supraorbital processes well-developed; absence of porosity on the nasal lateral processes of the frontal bone and on the edges of the supraorbital processes. In specimens represented by skins only the relative age (adult, subadult, young) was estimated using other criteria based on the color and width of centrodorsal hair bands, body size (the dry measurements of hindfoot and ear were used when necessary), degree of ossifica- tion of long bones attached to skins, reproductive data, development of mammary nipples, etc. As some of the old specimens in Italian collections are mounted with skull inside, not all the skulls of the specimens listed below were available for study. The Milan and Genova collec- tions do not hold either specimens of L. corsicanus or old specimens of L. europaeus, but they have been examined to complete the information on contemporary specimens of L. europaeus and other hare species from neighboring areas. The Madrid collection was used as a reference for data on the Spanish species. The L. corsicanus and L. europaeus specimens from Italy that were studied are listed in Ap- pendix 1 and 2, respectively. The available body measurements were taken from labels, and dry

  • Appendix Lagomorph Species: Geographical Distribution and Conservation Status
    Appendix Lagomorph Species: Geographical Distribution and Conservation Status PAULO C. ALVES1* AND KLAUS HACKLÄNDER2 Lagomorph taxonomy is traditionally controversy, and as a consequence the number of species varies according to different publications. Although this can be due to the conservative characteristic of some morphological and genetic traits, like general shape and number of chromosomes, the scarce knowledge on several species is probably the main reason for this controversy. Also, some species have been discovered only recently, and from others we miss any information since they have been first described (mainly in pikas). We struggled with this difficulty during the work on this book, and decide to include a list of lagomorph species (Table 1). As a reference, we used the recent list published by Hoffmann and Smith (2005) in the “Mammals of the world” (Wilson and Reeder, 2005). However, to make an updated list, we include some significant published data (Friedmann and Daly 2004) and the contribu- tions and comments of some lagomorph specialist, namely Andrew Smith, John Litvaitis, Terrence Robinson, Andrew Smith, Franz Suchentrunk, and from the Mexican lagomorph association, AMCELA. We also include sum- mary information about the geographical range of all species and the current IUCN conservation status. Inevitably, this list still contains some incorrect information. However, a permanently updated lagomorph list will be pro- vided via the World Lagomorph Society (www.worldlagomorphsociety.org). 1 CIBIO, Centro de Investigaça˜o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Genéticos and Faculdade de Ciˆencias, Universidade do Porto, Campus Agrário de Vaira˜o 4485-661 – Vaira˜o, Portugal 2 Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management, University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Gregor-Mendel-Str.

  • Infectious Diseases in the European Brown Hare (Lepus Europaeus) in the Netherlands an Analysis of Past and Present Study, a Contribution to Future Studies
    Infectious diseases in the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in the Netherlands An analysis of past and present study, a contribution to future studies Photography by Margriet Montizaan Master Research Traineeship Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Utrecht R.M. da Costa 0351598 November 2011-February 2012 Supervisor: dr. J. Rijks Dutch Wildlife Health Centre (DWHC) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Utrecht Abstract The European brown hare (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) is an important game animal in the Netherlands and Europe. A decline in its population has been seen in Europe for several decades, and has also been noticed in the Netherlands. Diseases have been linked to this decline, but it is unknown to which extent. Therefore, the aim of this study was to increase the number of submissions, to make an analysis of infectious diseases, to investigate the role of reproductive life cycle in susceptibility to diseases, and to create a hare specific examination protocol. In order to do so, a pilot was used. Hare reports from 2008-2011 were analyzed, during present and retrospective study, and a literature study was performed. In total, 56 hares were submitted, of which 54 hares could be used for analysis. The most morphological diagnoses were identified in the respiratory system, with pneumonia most commonly found. Etiological diagnoses could be made of diseases in different systems, which could be found in 59% of the hares. Pasteurellosis was identified in 11%, Staphylococcus spp. in 9% and yersiniosis in 2%. Only 1 out of 54 hares was suspected of having a virus, the European Brown Hare Syndrome virus.

  • Bioinformatics Analysis of Capsid Protein of Different Subtypes Rabbit
    Qi et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2019) 15:423 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-019-2161-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Bioinformatics analysis of capsid protein of different subtypes rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus Ruibin Qi†, Jie Zhu†, Qiuhong Miao, Aoxing Tang, Dandan Dong, Xiaoxue Wang and Guangqing Liu* Abstract Background: Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus (RHDV) belongs to the Caliciviridae family, is a highly lethal pathogen to rabbits. Increasing numbers of studies have demonstrated the existence of antigenic variation in RHDV, leading to the emergence of a new RHDV isolate (RHDVb). However, the underlying factors determining the emergence of the new RHDV and its unpredictable epidemiology remain unclear. To investigate these issues, we selected more than 184 partial and/or complete genome sequences of RHDV from GenBank and analyzed their phylogenetic relationships, divergence, and predicted protein modification sites. Results: Phylogenetic analysis showed that classic RHDV isolates, RHDVa, and RHDVb formed different clades. It’s interesting to note that RHDVa being more closely related to classic RHDV than RHDVb, while RHDVb had a closer genetic relationship to Rabbit Calicivirus (RCV) than to classic RHDV isolates. Moreover, divergence analysis suggested that the accumulation of amino acid (aa) changes might be a consequence of adaptive diversification of capsid protein (VP60) during the division between classical RHDV, RHDVa, RHDVb, and RCV. Notably, the prediction of N-glycosylation sites suggested that RHDVb subtypes had two unique N-glycosylation sites (aa 301, 362) but lacked three other N-glycosylation sites (aa 45, 308, 474) displayed in classic RHDV and RHDVa VP60 implying this divergence of N-glycosylation sites in RHDV might affect viral virulence.
